I did @BBCRadio4 's Prayer for the Day all of this week (bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/b…)
The six themes and links follow in this thread:
9th July: Hajj & Eid Al'Adha
"If acts of worship are like external manifestations of internal Grace, then the rituals of Hajj are saying: everyone comes to God equal, only the content of our hearts is relevant to The One." #EidAlAdha

11th July: Football and Finding Balance
"Islam calls for us to be balanced, centred, and to fully do that, we have to accept both good and bad, highs and lows... I don’t believe one can know one side without also knowing the other. " #Wembley

12th July: Simplicity
"The Prophet Muhammad said,'Simplicity is a part of faith.' His was a call to not be distracted by this world, but rather to focus our lives towards the reality of The Ultimate Simplicity, The Unity, The One."

13th July: I Love You
I’ll admit sometimes I say “I love you” almost absent-mindedly. but when my Mum passed away, I was grateful that I'd end every conversation with the words, “I love you SO much”. Knowing those were my last words to her gives me peace."

14th July: Plastic
"When I read that there are 5 trillion pieces of plastic currently in the ocean, the scale of the problem seems overwhelming. But there are opportunities to make things better." #PlasticFreeJuly

15th July: Youth Skills Day
"I know every generation has its troubles. But I felt I was inheriting a world more secure than the one before. I don’t feel that for the youth of today."

This morning's Pause for Thought: (Thread)

I’ve been thinking about three people this week.
- Jesus, as it was Easter weekend.
- Martin Luther King Jr, as it was the 53rd anniversary of his assassination on Sunday.

#Easter #MLK53 #MLKDAY
- And Mahatma Gandhi, as today is the anniversary of The Salt March – a 24 day protest against the British Salt Tax in India.

We often talk of Jesus, Gandhi, and Martin Luther-King Jr. in glowing terms. But actually their lives were lives of difficulty.
All three of them promoted non-violent resistance against injustice, yet often I feel we sanitise their stories, and neuter their contributions to history.

This is my darling girl at the airport—heading to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
I absolutely can’t believe it!
The battles she has fought to get to this point are extraordinary.
The Merciful is endlessly kind!
Your prayers would be very much appreciated for her, & the whole group!
And so The Trek itself begins. Day 1 of 7.
She is heading to the mountain-to rain, and to snow.
May The Merciful bless her every step, and that of the team.

Any donation would be very much appreciated. She’s trekking to raise funds for emergency relief:

Getting some messages from the mountain.
The climb is STEEP. The weather hot and humid ATM
She’s been a little sick, and has to go slower than she wants, but she’s digging in. Says she feels positive. One foot in front of the other.
